First year linebacker Jahvoni Simmons is the highest-rated member of the incoming class

August 5th, 2014 was an exciting day on the recruiting trail for the Virginia football program.

Head coach Mike London was on a hot streak in the months of June and July, but the Tidewater native pulled off the biggest coup of the cycle on the first weekend of August.

After giving subtle hints in Virginia's favor in the week's prior, four-star middle linebacker Jahvoni Simmons finally committed to the Cavaliers.

Ever since Simmons donned the UVa hat for the first time, Wahoo fans began imagining what the blue chip linebacker could do in Jon Tenuta's defense.
